Joseph: This is another great synthesis, Write up a brief description, and I think you have this one nailed as well.

THIS SYNTHESIS IS DESCRIBES HOW MEPARFYNOL IF MADE FRON SCATCH USING TRIPLE BONDED CARDON SHORT CHAINS. IN THE REACTION WE USE SODIUM AMINE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE H2C2 TO PROTONATE THE H ATOM AND MAKE A H3C2 AND 1-BUTYNE. THIS REPRESENT THE FIRLST REACTION THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE SYNTHESIS OF MARPAFYNOL. WE ALSO ADD HGSO4 ADN H2SO4 TO MAKE AND ALCOHOL AND A KETONE OUT OF IT.
THE THIRD REACTION INCLUDES THE ADDTION OF NANH2 TO MAKE AN ACYTALIDE ION AS DISCUSSED IN CLASS B DR BONDURANT AND WE DO THIS IN THE PRESENCE OF TOULENE IF AVAILABLE.
THE NA ION THEN REACTS WITH THE H2C2 . THE FINAL PRODUCT OF THEN MARPAFYNOL.
